Panels are chaired by Governor-appointed Commissioners. Awards are based on organizational capacity, public benefit, and fiscal practices.
The $2 million one-time legislative appropriation for Fiscal Year 2027 augments regular funding streams including the State's Arts Trust Fund (averaging $1.2 million annually) and a state partnership grant from the National Endowment for the Arts ($1 million annually).
